New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – P14040214
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) announced a safety recall on certain 2011 through 2014
model year (WD) Dodge Durango and (WK) Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.
Some Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles may have a brake booster
that could prematurely corrode. If perforation of the brake booster shell (due to
corrosion) occurs, the brake booster may ingest water during vehicle operation during
wet weather conditions.
A brake booster that has experienced water ingestion may have the brake function
compromised if the water inside the brake booster freezes. The driver may be required
to apply additional application force to apply the brakes during sub-freezing driving
conditions. An unexpected additional brake pedal application force requirement could
slow the driver’s brake application reaction time and cause a crash without warning.
Chrysler will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all involved vehicles to inspect the
brake booster for corrosion. Brake boosters found with excessive corrosion will be
replaced. All boosters will be equipped with a shield to protect the brake booster crimp
joints from water exposure.
Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established methods
used in the past.
We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this
communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries on
involved vehicles.
